Google Fights Proposed Laws Against Use Of Google Glass While Driving

March 6, 2014

Google is sending lobbyists to lobby against passage of laws under consideration in three states that will ban the use of Google Glass while driving.

“While Glass is currently in the hands of a small group of Explorers,” the company said, “we find that when people try it for themselves they better understand the underlying principle that it’s not meant to distract but rather connect people more with the world around them.”

The underlying principle may not be to distract but any object that will allow a driver to read emails, watch a video, or get the latest stock reports is going to be very distracting and will present a danger to other drivers on the road.
